Sponsored Research Program

The Sponsored Research Program, with monies from the State's
Hazardous Waste Research Fund, has supported over 235 projects since
1985 to advance the state of knowledge/practice in areas of
sustainability, pollution prevention, energy generation and
conservation, and environmental issues of importance to the State. Funds
have been provided to universities/colleges, industries, businesses,
non-for-profit organizations, and government entities. Usually three to
six new projects receive funding each year, depending on monies
available, the strength and relevance of the proposals, and importance
to the most pressing sustainability problems in Illinois.

Each of ISTC's new funding cycles begins with a focused solicitation identifying issues of special interest to the State.

Due to state budgetary constraints, there will not be an RFP for
FY18. To be added to the RFP notification email list please contact
Elizabeth Meschewski.
